theatrical people put it. A lackadaisical
youth who was making eyes and saying
soulful things in languid way to pretty
assistant at reception was handed glass Of
punch to change the conversation. Tasting
the compound, he rolled his eyes up, and
said, "This punch is symphony" He was
only equaled by Kansas man who was taken
to one of Mrs. Cockrell's receptions, and being
given her famous punch did not know whether
it was a symphony or not In fact, he
did not know what the stuff was that he was
drinking, as he was rigid total abstinence
man. He was shy as well, and seeing that
every one else had little glass cup of tho
harmless looking liquid he took one too. The

CHICAGO, May ga Times special from
Richnend, Virginia, says: Soon after the
occupation of Richmond by the Federal
Army in April, 1865, the ordinance of Sc
cession mysteriously disappeared from the
State House and was never heard of until
a few days ago. A letter has been received
here from the postmaster OF a Minnesota
village in which he says that he has in his
control the original ordinance of seces-
sion that was passed by Virginia, and he
inquiries how much the authorities will pay
for it. The Postmaster does not say that
he has possession Of this paper, but on
the o. her hand he intimates that it be-
longs to the widow of a Federal soldier.
It is understood that Governor Fitzhugh
Leeswill write to the Postmaster-Genera
apprising him of these facts, and asking
that officer to do what he can to see that
the Minnesota Postmaster restores this
valuable document to the Virginia authori-
tiea.

They do net work them personally, nor de-

The appearance of Herr Most at police
headquarters yesterday created quite q
sensation. He had not put his feet ON In-
spectnr Byrnes's reserved territory since his
historic arrest last spring.
That an Anarchist of 50 prominent q
type should care about reclaiming his

who presides in that department. He in.
quired jokingly whether Most was not, ss
reputed, the arch-enemy of private prop
erty. but received the prompt assurance
that the Anarchist chief had decided OBJ

German literature which were seized as

The property clerk ran over the registry,
page after page, but failed to discover any
entry relating to Herr Most's missing col
lection.
He was finally advised to call upon
grizzly Sergeant Baird, in the detective
bureau. There the Anarchist was court

Man seems pigmy in these realms Of space;
